Joshua L. HeaId.

In the death of Joshua It. Heald Will
mington loses her brightest and most enter
prising real estate man. To him our city
owes the fact of its commercial and local
advantages being exploited and known
around in all the large cities from the At.
lantic to the Pacific. He was a man of mod.
ern ideas who fully understood, perhaps
more than any other Wilmingtonian, what
this city and neighborhood needed for its
advancement.
Aside from his high business qualifications
Mr. Heald was a true gentleman and so ap.
preeiated by all.

The Brandywine Camp.

The outlook for the Brdndywine Camp
meeting is very good. There will undoubt-
edly be large throngs present at this favorite
tenting groundings of Wilmingtonians. All
the local pastors have already hired tenting
roow, SO that our citizens can depend on
meeting some old acquaintances and having
good time both morally aud physically. AS
text for lay sermon not''kg is more ap-
propriate could be preached this hot enner-
waiting weather than few days camping in
the cool wood at Brandywine Summit.

The Infectious Period of Disease.

An English medical journal gives the du-
ration of infectiousness in number of dis
eases: Measles, from the second day for ex-
actly three weeks; small pex, from the first
day, under one month, probably three weeks;
scarlet fever, at about the fourth day, for
six or seven weeks; mnmps, under three
weeks; diphtheria, under three weeks Sci
ence, in commenting upon this statement,
doubts whether any one can fix the exact
period during which any of these diseases
may be communicated, as is here done with
measles. Some excellent authorities believe
THAT even before some of these diseases make
their presence known, persons exposed may
contract them

A Tiresome Habit.

Many people unconsciously get INTO the habit
Of repeating questions that are asked them,
and Of asking others to repeat what they have
said. Ones experience with such people is
usually something like this: "How long have
you beenfn New York" GHow long have |
been in New York, did you sayln or Il think
it will be warmer tomorrow" "What did
you say?" If one thinks he has been under
stood, all that is necessary, as a rule, is to
keep silent and look his interlocutor in the
face for moment, to be made sure of it.

Hints About Health.

The very tight lacing now in vogue can
hardly fail to increase ill health.
If every one would make practice of eat
ing an orange before breakfast, doctors
would have less to do, says a member or the

Clean Streets.

There is something in appearances. If
the new commission insists upon all citizens
placing waste paper, boxes and other refuse
into barrels instead of emptying sweepings
into the gutter the general orderly appear
ance of the streets will be greatly improved
The present nntidy practice of throwing
matter anywhere along the street should be
stopped.

Mistaken Elegance.

A very mistaken idea of elegance is that
which leads-a menilses+cf her own family, a
near relative or an intimate friend tospeak of
or to a young unmarried lady other than by
her baptisfnal name. In notes and in speech
she is addressed as Miss Blank, by mere ac-
quaintances, gentlemen and servants. But
the use Of Miss by her own circle is not con
sidered sood form; for the reason that it
leaves no distinctive title by which remoter
persons may mention or address a young girl.

The Jubilee season in London, and the
excitement of the public mind over the
| Queens tiftjeth anniversary of her reign,
are represented by Two articles in the cur
rent number of The ECLEcTIC: "Victorian
Literature" by Prof. Edward Dowden, and
"The Progress of Thought in Our Time. :"
| by John Addington Symonds. Both of
these papers are noteworthy productions of
their brilliant authors. Oxford in the
Middle Ages" by John c. Brodrick, is a
peculiarly interesting study of university
life in the olden time. Algernon Charles
Swinburne has powerful poem on the Jub-
lice, perhaps the strongest which has yet
been published. Andrew Lang has some
sensible words TO say on Literary Plagiar-
ism, and James Keith, in papers entitled
sour Great Competition" studies the future
Of the United States in strain OF glowing
prophecy. Mr.. Gladstone attacks some of
the conclusions in Mr.. Lecky's last volume
of "England in the Eighth Ccntuty;" with
his accustomed eloquence of expression.
The papers entitled Russia as the Enemy
of English Trade, and "'rhe Origin and
Interpretation Of Myths''-the latter by W.
5. Gill-are, in their respective lines, highly
suggestive and interesting, NJ. Westwood-
Oliver is the contributor of scientific arti-
Gle named Earthquake Warnings" which
will be read with profit by the many who
have been recently alarmed by earthquake
conynlsions. Other articles of notable in
terest are Sketch of Thomas Stevenson,
the great engineer, by his son, Robert Louis
Stevenson, who las recently made so bril-
liant reputation in the field of fiction;
"Tree Lore" by j. A. Farrer; and poets

The minor articles are interesting and well
chosen. Special attention may be called to

Fear is considered by some physicians the
worst malady they have to fight. 1t tcannot
be fought with medicines. When once it
takes firm hold of patient, the thing to do
is to work upon the mind and imagination,
and he who can do this most successfully is
the greatest physician.

President Cleveland's Classical se
marks.

Some days since President Cleveland while
visiting his old home was called upon for a
speech. During his remarks he made use
of the Elegant Expression" that he had
heard so much bowling for the last two
years that he would be frightened by pan
thers now."
Imagine an Arthur, Garfield, jackson
or Jefferson making use of such vulgar
expression.

poisonous Eject Of the OK Eye Daisy

A physician has recently called attention
to the poisonous effect which the common OK
eye daisy sometimes produces. 1t is chiefly
observed in those persons who suffer similarly
from the poison ivy and poison oak, the
symptoms consisting in troublesome heat and
itching and the formation of vesicles, followed
by desquamation of the cuticle.

In the nature Of things the vast
strides toward practical monopoly
made by the corporations of the
country in the past 20 years have in
ducsd the organization Of combina-
tons among the individuals brought
into contact with them as laboreu
and employees.
We do not heeitate to say that so
far as sym pathY can SO, we sympa-
thlze with the laborer and yet can
NJ more approve of the methods Of
the labor organization than we so Of
the methods Of the corporations.
The methods OF both have the
same characteristics. The best way
to express it is IL the language of 4
very selfish mans prayer. ooh
Lord bless me and my wife, my son
John and his wife, Us four and no
mole.
Every member Of these labor Or
carnations is a citizen OF this land
and owes a duty as such to all his
neighbors wether they belong to his
organization or not, and should not
confne his duties or energies to the
seeking ana furthenDg Of mere class
Legislation. Ou the other hand
the corporations are the creatures
and children Of the Government and
owe a similar duty,
But we say We sYmplihize with
the laborers and employees SIMPLY
because We have moie faith in an
appeal to individual conscience than
to corpora te conscience.
But as to the methods Of the cor
porate organizations or the labor or
carnations it seems the central idea
OF both IS to take care Of numbe
one" no matter what may happen
to the rest OF the country.
It is a curious fact that violent
and unfustiiable methods Of opposi-
ton to corporate power meet with
favor often from the laborers, when
almost invariably on resorting to the
peacable method at the ballot box
they vote at dictation Of the EN-
ployer.

TIE TARIFF. WHAT IGIT2
For ablnt f1lr score years the
tariff has been discussed in this
country, until to many it seems a
s,rt of complex political issue, not
10 be understood by the people.
and yet 1t is an issue which every
American citizen should consider
and understand. Tie tariff is MOTH
ing more nor less than a tar by the
Federal Government on the people.
Our state and county taxes are as
sessed directly upon the real and
personal estate of all citizens accor-
ding to value Of what is owned by
each citizen. But the tax we pay
TO state and county is comparative
~ insignificant, when compared
with our Federal taxation. 1t is not
assessed upon property according to
value, directly, as in our state and
county taxes, but IS NANNY an in
direct tax on imports Of the articles
we consume whether in the shape
of provisions, wearing apparel or
any and all articles needed and pur-
chased by the people. The price Of
every article to the purchaser sim
creased by the amount Of the tax.
Any article manufactured in this
country, which, when imported, has
n tariff tax on it is Of course raised
that much higher as to price at the
pace Of production here. 1t might
be produced here perhaps much
cheaper, but sellers ask all they can
get for an article, and hence we hnd
what is meant by protection 81
American industries. If a given
article could be manufactured here
and sold for two dollars and the
same article could be impoI ted from
foreign country, and sold for two
dillars, the price would be kept
down 10 two dollars, but when The
government puts tariff tax OF one
dollar on the article when imported
the importers have to charge three
dollars, and our factories here vii
charge the same or perhaps two
dollars and ninety cents, and In sucf
case the tariff protects our factorie
81 the extent Of the ninety cents
and the people pay the protected
industries that ninety cents on eaci
article OF the kind. The citizen
OF tie country who Ieahze the pro
fits are few in number, but all thu
